The 119th Carnival of Genealogy, The 5th Annual Swimsuit Edition!

Thanks to Jasia of Creative Gene for hosting this 119th edition of the Carnival of Genealogy.

The challenge:

It's time to think of summer and lazy days spent at the pool or beach. Dig out those wonderful swimsuit pictures of days gone by and share them with us!

OK, I was going to let this one quietly slide by, and I have no idea why I changed my mind. I have some cute photos of my first two sons at the beach at Nags Head North Carolina in 1973. However, I decided to go with this one of them several years before, taken in Kenitra Morocco in 1971.

Now ya all know, I just HATE my photo being taken, and this is about the last one you will find of me in a swim suit. EWWWW. I am going to close my eyes as I post this "wonderful" ???? photo. But, hey, the kiddos are cute!

If you look real close, you can see me scowling, and, tee hee, I don't believe it is from the bright sun.

*OK, there may be other photos of me in a swimsuit, but they are not linked to my data base, and that should tell you about all that we need to know, cause who links horrible icky looking photos of yourself to your family history data base?? Well, duhhh, not I! LOL

Count

All photos on this blog are those taken by Man or Moi, unless otherwise noted. Documents are either from some great genealogy site or are scans of originals I have turned up in my years of research. Other images should be accompanied by some kind of source data.

Which Am I?

Am I a genealogist or a family historian?

Well, both of course, how can you be one without the other?

A family historian depends on the genealogist to supply the facts.

A genealogist depends on the family historian to tell the stories.

Genealogist, family historian, I am one in the same.
